Interim leader named for Indiana's only black college

A former superintendent of the Indianapolis Public Schools has been named interim president of Indiana's only predominantly black college.

Martin University said Wednesday that its trustees picked Eugene White to take over immediately as leader of the college on the east side of Indianapolis.

White is replacing George Miller, who said last month he was resigning after about 11⁄2 years as Martin's president. The private school primarily serves low-income, minority students and has an enrollment of less than 1,000. Founded in 1977, it was named for Dr. Martin Luther King.

White was the Indianapolis schools superintendent for seven years before stepping down in April.
